Poetry Friday: Tap Tap Boom Boom

Beautiful pick for text and art this Poetry Friday: Tap Tap Boom Boom.



Tap TAP,
dark clouds.
Tap TAP,
damp air.

Tap TAP,
cold drops
of rain
dot hair.

Street carts appear:
"Umbrellas here!"
Tap TAP
Tap TAP
BOOM
BOOM

This is such a visual treat of sound and sight, texture and rhythm. Find it!

What a fun poem and book for little ones. It looks like a good book to help calm thunder storm fears too. Thanks for sharing it!
